Comic Localizer

What

Extensible comic localizer

Install

• This repo uses uv for package management, see individual parts below for specifics

Parts

• Actual Translator
• A UI for translating individual images
• A basic CLI example

Limitations

• Yolo by ultralytics is AGPL, need to find alternative detector and segmenter (or maybe remove from repo so repo is not AGPL)
• Currently no form of text color detection so text will always be black
• Only horizontal left to right text layout is supported for output
• Very large vertical images are not split so either they work or they dont
• Dataset is only japanese text so detection might not work on other languages
• Aside from the yolo models, all other models are general-purpose and may or may not work well on manga

Models Included

• Yolo detection and segmentation
• deepfillv2 inpainting
• lama inpainting
